Greensole: Step towards Sustainability

http://www.greensole.in
Greensole is a social venture, which recycles discarded shoes to comfortable footwear and provides them to the under-served to protect them from diseases caused by unprotected feet.

As athletes, Shriyans Bhandari and Ramesh Dhami ran hundreds of kilometres every year. They also ran through at least three to four pairs of sport shoes every year. The soles were in good condition but the shoe sides tore within months. The duo always wondered if they could find some use for the intact soles of these quality sport shoes. A bit of research led to the idea of refurbishing them into trendy slippers. That brainwave eventually spawned an eco-friendly enterprise that reuses shoe soles and is appropriately named Greensole – By Hindu Business.
